If they did it for the purpose of illegally consuming time, then you would start it on the snap. There's the rub - was it on purpose? Granted, I would have started it on the snap, but that can't be supported by the rule book per se.
I don't think K State lost the game due to this play. They were lollygagging around with 6 minutes left like they didn't have a care in the world (they were down 35-14).
Also, maybe having a QB who isn't going 17-98 might help, too.
